Sure what would they need a rugby player for? To life Pedro on corners?

I thought he was actually on about two lads switching. Oh well.

all i can think in my head is Sinn Fein, Central Midfielder or Charlie Darwin.
Is it any of these?

Charlie Darwin

Judge signs for Notts County. Disappointing to see a player that had his potential drop down to League One.

Here's the report from the Rochdale game mentioned in that article: http://mcfc.co.uk/News/Match-reports/2011/January/City-EDS-v-Rochdale-reserves
McDermott was involved in the opening goal
The lively Donal McDermott found space on the left to cross for Guidetti whose header struck the bar, but the rebound fell kindly for Nimely who was on hand to tap home.

From Sky Sports : West Ham boss Avram Grant has confirmed that he is interested in bringing Tottenham striker Robbie Keane (http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6663124,00.html) to Upton Park. Spurs boss Harry Redknapp will not let Keane leave on loan, so a £5million deal could be on the cards.

Keanes Birmingham fee agreed,
I imagine the deal is still in its infancy, Robbie will be shrewd about his contract negotiations
considering it will likely be his last big money wage deal.

Not having a go at you joe personally, but that is a load of ballicks from Robbie Keane if there's any truth to that. . Robbie, at this stage and at the nth move of his career, having had pretty good wages for the best part of 5 years now, needs to focus on the best footballing move for him now, not financial.
Kenny Cunningham pointing out that Birmingham might not be the best move for him due to their liking of a single guy up front. Fair point.

I agree, Robbie is set up for life and doesn't need the money. But contracts are about more than money sometimes, he'll be looking for as long a deal as he can secure and probably have a get out clause based on relegation. He doesn't want to up sticks to Birmingham and then find them in the championship next year and no longer able to afford his wages.

Goal.com not the most reliable but would be one less in Robbie's way if he moved.
England's number one goalkeeper Joe Hart has received a 'rocket' from his angry Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini after a string of below-par displays.

Rumours from the tabloids today regarding Irish players. - Newcastle want Stephen Ireland on loan and David Norris to Portsmouth for 250000 stg. - Daily Mirror.

No...I'm not even sure he is eligible. He played for England U-19s and has a Danish grandmother. People here tend to be right though about whether players are eligible.

Anyway this article gave a list of players who are eligible for us. Kevin Nolan's name is there as well though.
http://www.independent.ie/sport/soccer/opportunity-beckons-to-pledge-allegiance-1766303.html
rumours breaking on the Bohs board that Paddy Madden may have signed for a Premiership club. It seems highly unlikely in my opinion but worth sharing in case it comes through.
and it appears that the club in question might be Blackpool.

Wikipedia is usually right about descent as well, hell its usually right in general unless something is just a complete joke.

Who were also after Greg Bolger, but nothing came of that. Wouldn't hold out too much hope there, to be honest.
yeah, i agree Stu. I never thought it too likely to happen (though was excited by the possibility) and it appears to have been a pretty weak rumour anyway.

I'm a bit surprised by the attention shown to Madden across the channel. He gets into good positions but his finishing is pretty poor.

pretty astute summary SupremeFeet.
A couple of articles on the current make up of the squad and their playing time so far this season, doesnt make great reading, particularly with reference to our more established players.
http://www.tribune.ie/sport/article/2011/jan/23/time-may-be-called-on-emerald-idle/
Shay no longer our no 1?
http://www.tribune.ie/sport/soccer/article/2011/jan/23/maybe-it-should-no-longer-be-a-given-that-shay-is-/
Very little to report on the rumours side this morning. From Sky:
Fulham manager Mark Hughes has warned any potential suitors they would be wasting their time if they pursue the signing of Damien Duff.
